Digestion Study After Weight-Loss Surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how digestion works after weight-loss surgery. Volunteers may be people with obesity or those who had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy at least a year ago. The goal is to learn more about gut function after surgery.

This study measures how quickly food leaves the stomach in people who had weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy) at least 2 years ago. The goal is to create normal reference values for this test, which may help doctors better understand digestive issues after surgery.
This study tests how a special diet after weight-loss surgery affects gut bacteria, eating habits, and sense of taste and smell. Researchers want to see if this diet can improve long-term results.
This study looks at how your body processes food and handles digestion after sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss surgery). Researchers will measure your metabolism, intestinal health, and stomach symptoms over time to understand how the surgery affects your body.
This study looks at how the body’s insulin-sensitivity (how well your body uses sugar/insulin) and organ function change after certain medical procedures. It may help researchers understand why some people improve after surgery or liver transplant and guide future care.
This study follows people who recently had sleeve gastrectomy (a surgery that makes your stomach smaller to help with weight loss) to understand how their eating habits, nutrition, and appetite hormones change over time. The findings may help doctors better support patients after this surgery.
This study is creating a system to predict how well people do after weight-loss surgery for severe obesity. It focuses on patients getting either a sleeve gastrectomy or a gastric bypass and aims to improve recovery and long-term results.
